Apple Day Featured in

England

United Kingdom

Apple Day is a celebration and demonstration of the diversity and richness of nature, as well as a stimulus and a sign to the fact that we are able to influence the changes taking place around us. This annual event, dedicated to apples, orchards, and local attractions is celebrated throughout England on one of the October weekends.

On Apple Day, you can see and try hundreds of different varieties of apples, and many of the varieties are not sold in regular stores. You can also buy rare varieties of apple trees. Often at the festival, an apple identification service takes place to determine what kind of apple you brought from the garden. And with the «apple doctor» you can discuss all the problems of the apple trees in your garden.

During the holiday, a lot of apple dishes and drinks are offered—from apple pies and jam to apple juice and cider. There is a competition for the longest strip of peel as well. The most exciting celebrations take place in London, at Trelissick Garden in Cornwall, Mary Arden’s Farm in Warwickshire, and many other places throughout the UK.

Oak Apple Day — May 29th

. Parliament had ordered the 29th of May, the King’s birthday, to be for ever kept as a day of thanksgiving for our redemption from tyranny and the King’s return to his Government, he entering London that day.
Samuel Pepys (1660)

What is an oak apple?

An oak apple is also known as an oak gall. It is caused by the larvae of a cynipid wasp. They are so called because the gall looks a little like an apple.

What is oak apple day?

Monarchists celebrate Charle’s II’s birthday and his escape from the Roundheads on 29th May. It is called ‘Oak Apple Day’ in memory of the time when the king hid in an oak tree following the Battle of Worcester. Thanks to the protection of this tree ‘the Boscobel Oak’ in the grounds of Boscobel Hall, Staffordshire, Charles was eventually crowned king of Great Britain and Ireland on 29th May 1660; and his supporters celebrated in a manner that would surely have been condemned by the Puritans of Oliver Cromwell’s Commonwealth.

Cromwell (1599-1658), the leader of the Parliamentary side in the English Civil War, raised a highly successful cavalry force (known as Ironsides) and declared Britain a republic in 1649. He was also part of a special commission that tried King Charles I and condemned him to death that same year. Nevertheless, the king’s son (also Charles), having spent nine years wandering through Europe after his near escape, issued a Declaration that promised a general amnesty and freedom of conscience. Parliament accepted and he was proclaimed king.

The wearing of a sprig of oak on the anniversary of Charles’ crowning showed that a person was loyal to the restored king. Those who refused to wear an oak-sprig were often set upon, and children would challenge others to show their sprig or have their bottoms pinched. Consequently, this day became known as Pinch-Bum-Day. In parts of England where oak-apples are known as shick-shacks, the day is also known as Shick-Shack Day. It is also likely that the royal association conceals a pagan tradition of tree worship.

These days it is traditional for monarchists to decorate the house with oak branches or wear a sprig of oak on 29th May. In All Saints Church in Northampton, a garland of oak-apples is laid at Charles II’s statue. Whereas, in Grovely Forest, Salisbury, a procession takes place at first light, accompanied by the sound of horns. It is also traditional to drink beer and eat plum pudding — especially at the Royal Hospital in Chelsea, which was founded by Charles II on this very day.

On or near this date, a curious figure called the Garland King rides through the streets of Castleton, Derbyshire, at the head of a procession. His head and the upper part of his body are completely hidden by a ‘garland’ — a heavy wooden construction, shaped like a beehive and covered with flowers and greenery. On top of the garland is a small posy of flowers, which is called the ‘queen’. Behind the king rides his queen (at one time played by a man in woman’s clothes), accompanied by a band and children dressed in white. After pausing to dance at various points along the way, the procession arrives at the church and the garland is pulled up to the top of the church tower and fixed to a pinnacle. The ‘queen’ posy is then placed on the town war memorial.

APPLE DAY (in Britain)

Apple Day is an annual celebration, held in October, of apples and orchards. It is celebrated mainly in the United Kingdom. Apple Day was initiated by Common Ground in 1990 and has been celebrated in each subsequent year by people organizing hundreds of local events. Common Ground describe the day as a way of celebrating and demonstrating that variety and richness matter to a locality and that it is possible to effect change in your place. The first Apple Day was on 21 October 1990 in Covent Garden, London.

THE APPLE as a symbol Common Ground has used the apple as a symbol of the physical, cultural and genetic diversity we should not let slip away. In linking particular apples with their place of origin, they hope that orchards will be recognized and conserved for their contribution to local distinctiveness, including the rich diversity of wild life they support.

TRADITIONS Apple Day events can be large or small, from apple games in a garden to large village fairs with cookery demonstrations, games, apple identification, juice and cider, gardening advice, and of course many hundreds of apple varieties. More recently Apple Day has evolved into a weekend event, usually taking place on the Saturday and Sunday closest to 30 October although a number of venues now simply use the term Apple Day for their own events which can take place anywhere in the second half of October.

Places of celebration Apple Day Tring, Hertfordshire. Cromford, near Matlock, Derbyshire are notorious apple promoters.

Braeburn, Discovery, Red Jonagold, Pink Lady, and a million other varieties with a million different evocative names, and each one more delicious than the last!

Here’s to thee, old apple tree,
Whence thou mayst bud
And whence thou mayst blow!
And whence thou mayst bear apples enow!
Hats full! Caps full!
Bushel—bushel—sacks full,
And my pockets full too! Huzza!

South Hams of Devon, 1871

Every year the exquisite orchards spill forth a cavalcade of crimson, gold, and green, and it’s not just the leaves of Autumn. On the heels of this rolling bounty comes the rich smell of apple pies, spicy ciders (both alcoholic and not), and all the tastes and smells of this seasonal treat.

This is the time to celebrate everything that has to do with National Apple Day!

History of National Apple Day

Each year, people in various parts of the world gather for a celebration of the most delicious harvest of the year and come together to share the joy and fun of apples. Events range in size from minor to full-blown fairs in villages all over the country, where enthusiasts come together to share recipes for juice and cider, advice on how to properly grow their apples, and information on all the apple varieties available.

First made an official event in 1990 in Covent Garden, the events for National Apple Day have been celebrated every year since, and it has grown from a local event to one celebrated all over in different parts of the globe. It has grown from a simple celebration of the apple to a recognition of cultural and genetic diversity in food that should not be allowed to pass from the world.

Apples can be eaten and enjoyed not only on National Apple Day but every day. After all, as the old saying goes: “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”.

How to Celebrate National Apple Day

Getting involved in celebrating National Apple Day can be simple and fun! Try out some of these ideas to enjoy the day, whether alone or with a large group of people:

Eat An Apple

A great way to start an National Apple Day celebration is by gobbling down one of any number of delicious apple varieties. Yellow, green, pink or red, a fresh and juicy apple can be eaten cut, sliced, or simply by taking a giant bite out of the center. Eat it alone or dip it in something sweet like peanut butter with granola, Nutella, caramel sauce or a yummy cream-cheese dip.

Slice an apple up and put it on a sandwich, dice and cook it for a couple of hours to make applesauce or apple butter, wrap it in a pastry and bake it, or chop it up and put it in some pancakes. No matter how it is eaten, anyone can find a way to appreciate this delicious fruit on National Apple Day!

Join an National Apple Day Event

Check out which National Apple Day events are going on around the town or in the local area. Join in on various events and take in the unique varieties that grow in orchards near where you live.

Although National Apple Day traditionally falls on October 21, it can be expected that events will go on all throughout the month in celebration of the Apple. Catch an apple orchard tour or go apple picking on most weekends. With hundreds of events happening in the UK alone, and many more throughout the world, there’s sure to be some apple-related fun in October for everyone to enjoy!

Try Some New Apple Recipes

Apples are good for far more than just pies, crisps and crumbles! An extremely versatile fruit, apples can be made into a wide variety of dishes. They can be sweet or savory, used in salads, pastries, and even main dishes. Have fun using apples in all kinds of unique recipes and get started with some of these ideas:

• Sweet Potato and Apple Latkes. Take the potato pancake to a new level by changing it up with healthful sweet potatoes and tasty apples. Plus, add a bit of tang using a tahini sauce drizzled on top.
• Apple Sage Chickpea Veggie Burgers. Forget about needing meat to make a tasty burger–with apples and garbanzo beans, the vegetarians and vegans can be super excited about grilling too!
• Quinoa Apple Cheddar Soup. Apples and cheddar have been a classic pairing for many generations. Adding some quinoa gives more substance to this slightly sweet and tangy, comforting autumn soup.
• Apple Fries with Caramel Cheesecake Dip. Looking for a unique way to make french fries a bit more interesting? Try them with apples! Just after frying apple slices, dip them into a cinnamon sugar combination and serve with caramel and cream cheese dip.

Host an National Apple Day Event

You can also host an National Apple Day event for friends, family, and neighbors, encouraging people to try new recipes and types of apples. Be sure to treat your guests with special ciders brewed at the nearby orchards, and apple-themed treats from nearby bakeries. The heart and soul of National Apple Day are supporting the genetic diversity of Apple Orchards not being consumed by monoculture farming.

Participate in Apple Wassail

Another way to celebrate National Apple Day is to participate in the Apple Wassail, a traditional form of this ancient practice often performed as part of an National Apple Day celebration. As part of the practice, the bread will be laid on the roots of trees which are then doused with apple cider. This practice was said to bless the trees and bring about good harvests.

Get out there and enjoy National Apple Day, and relish the fruits of the season!
